I understand the struggle of wanting to make sure your loved pets are safely and happily watched over, and I will provide that. My favorite thing to do is send ample photos, because I love to receive photos! I housesit for friends, family, and strangers fairly often, with dogs ranging in all ages and sizes.

Information Alyssa D. would like to know about your pet

Routine! I want to do my best to keep the dog on its routine so they are comfortable with me. I have no problem meeting early so they are happy with my care. I have owned many senior dogs, so special needs or anything that comes with a dog who needs extra care does not bother me.

A typical day

I go on a 1-2 mile walk at least once a day. Sloan's lake is a wonderful spot... especially for "sniff" walks. I also utilize my backyard. I am very cognizant of dietary restrictions and rules, and will not do anything out of the ordinary that would make you or your dog uncomfortable.

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs my entire life and completely adore them. Upon moving to college, I genuinely felt that I needed a dog of my own. She has saved me and been my buddy through everything. She is six years old and a total sweetheart -- available to play and socialize with yours if requested!
